Agenda

• Niki meets the team, her ideas,
• MWE-UD 2024 paper status,
• How to go forward,
  • Splitting the issues and more focused meetings.

Discussion

• Reviews have been useful.
  • We can easily correct the technical things.
  • The conclusion should be stronger.
• We've discussed the reviews of the MWE-UD 2024 paper.
• Aslı mentioned 2 linguistic universals being violated when we split:
  1. derivational morpheme occurs after an inflectional morpheme.
  2. second token is treated as something it's not.
• It's agreed on that we should split in some way.
  • Even though Çağrı Hoca advocates for splitting after -ki, Büşra is against it.
• Enhanced dependencies are proposed as a solution but Çağrı Hoca is against it for 2 reasons:
  1. It's not used much in the treebanks.
  2. Parsers are not ready for it.
  • But still, potentially, it's a solution.
• Çağrı Hoca considers automatization important for the solution.
• We will work on the final version of the paper according to the comments.
  • Furkan works on technical issues.
• We said that we can write a paper on the copula issue to send to SIGTURK this year.
• Nikolett Mus introduced herself. She's from Hungary and works on Uralic languages.
• Meerim Ryspakova introduced herself. She's a PhD student working on Kyrgyz with Aida Eje.
  • Aida Eje mentioned that there's also another student not present.
• We're ignoring some reviews such as section 4 shortening and other examples in multiple languages.
